The correct Answer is:
To arrange the numbers \(2^{350}, 5^{200}, 3^{300}, 4^{250}\) in descending order, we can express all the terms with a common base. This will allow us to compare their magnitudes more easily. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert all terms to base 2:** - \(2^{350}\) remains as is. - \(5^{200}\) can be rewritten using logarithms: \[ 5^{200} = (2^{\log_2(5)})^{200} = 2^{200 \cdot \log_2(5)} \] - \(3^{300}\) can also be rewritten: \[ 3^{300} = (2^{\log_2(3)})^{300} = 2^{300 \cdot \log_2(3)} \] - \(4^{250}\) can be rewritten since \(4 = 2^2\): \[ 4^{250} = (2^2)^{250} = 2^{500} \] 2. **Now we have:** - \(2^{350}\) - \(2^{200 \cdot \log_2(5)}\) - \(2^{300 \cdot \log_2(3)}\) - \(2^{500}\) 3. **Compare the exponents:** - We need to compare \(350\), \(200 \cdot \log_2(5)\), \(300 \cdot \log_2(3)\), and \(500\). - Calculate \(200 \cdot \log_2(5)\): \[ \log_2(5) \approx 2.32193 \implies 200 \cdot \log_2(5) \approx 464.386 \] - Calculate \(300 \cdot \log_2(3)\): \[ \log_2(3) \approx 1.58496 \implies 300 \cdot \log_2(3) \approx 475.488 \] 4. **List the values for comparison:** - \(350\) - \(464.386\) (from \(5^{200}\)) - \(475.488\) (from \(3^{300}\)) - \(500\) (from \(4^{250}\)) 5. **Arrange in descending order based on the exponent values:** - \(500\) (from \(4^{250}\)) - \(475.488\) (from \(3^{300}\)) - \(464.386\) (from \(5^{200}\)) - \(350\) (from \(2^{350}\)) 6. **Final arrangement of the original terms:** - \(4^{250}\) - \(3^{300}\) - \(5^{200}\) - \(2^{350}\) ### Conclusion: The numbers in descending order are: \[ 4^{250}, 3^{300}, 5^{200}, 2^{350} \]
